How can we see the will?

James Brian Thomas
Answered by attorney James Brian Thomas (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Burdette & Rice, PLLC
In Texas, an interested person can petition the appropriate probate court to compel a person in possession of a Will to deposit the document with the County Clerk. The costs associated with doing so will vary by attorney, but the amount of time involved to achieve this is not substantial. Of course, having the Will deposited only brings it to light. If, as you suspect, there are reasons to believe that the document is not genuine or does not reflect the true intentions of the decedent, you can expect quite a fight. Probate litigation, like anything else, can become very expensive very quickly. Many attorneys handle matters like this on an hourly rate basis, while others may take the case on a contingency arrangement. Visit with a probate attorney near you now, as the issue will not resolve itself in your favor.

Do I have to leave each child something when I do my estate planning?

No you don't. But anytime you disinherit an heir, you want to do it carefully and deliberately, and with the assistance of an attorney, to minimize the opportunity to contest.
